I am sure we all have days like today, when it just isn't one thing but everything that seems to go wrong. Nothing terrible, nothing major, but just "Blah". That is exactly how I feel today.
I'm pretty sure that the root cause of it is stress, the start of summer blues, and again, the general Blah.
Yes, Blah is a technical term.
Blah: Lack of drive and generalized sluggishness followed by moments of why bother.
The past few weeks (or to be more accurate, years) have not been the easiest and being a mom can be a rather thankless job. Most days I can muster up at least a small amount of enthusiasm but today, it completely escaped me. So I ask, where did my inspiration go?
Maybe it is buried deep beneath the never ending laundry pile.
Trapped under the broom that never sweeps quite enough.
Hidden behind the last time I actually made a dinner that my children enjoyed and didn't come from the microwave.
Or it was lost with the realization that no matter what I do, my husband will always make more money, have more social interaction with adults, and be further in a career than me.
After a day like today, I need to take a bath, read a bit of my book, and sleep, all in the hopes that tomorrow will be a better day. If not maybe I will be inspired to view it as something more than just another Blah day.

What a great description of the blah's. I have them some days and feel exactly like you do - unfulfilled and a little empty. But it passes I'm glad to say!
